Slow Horses meets Empire of the Vampire in this brutal, darkly funny urban fantasy about a South London gangster who discovers the only thing more cutthroat than the criminal underworld is the world of vampires.

Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels meets vampires in this brutal, voice-driven urban fantasy about a South London gangster who discovers the only thing more cutthroat than the criminal underworld is the world of vampires.

Description

A gritty pub crawl from the blood-soaked streets of South London to the elite hallways of vampire royalty.

Freddie Burns just wants ten pints, football violence, and the chance to take over his uncle's fading gangland empire.

But when a routine hit goes tits up, Freddie discovers a new kind of organised crime—one where vampires are real and monsters hide in plain sight. Good thing Freddie has a nasty talent for giving vampires a good kicking—them, and anyone else who looks at him funny.

Freddie's power to rip magical strength from the death of living things drags him to a world he never knew existed. Now he's staring down shadowy organisations, a magical underworld, gruesome vampire initiations, and a blood-chilling covenant.

It might be up to Freddie to save the world—or at least not wreck it entirely. He just needs a drink and a smoke first.
